Would I get better results from 325 or 350cc silicone Mentor memory gel implants? I want a natural / proportionate look (photos)

Hello, thank you for your question. Size is always a difficult decision to make, most patients go with the bigger of the two sizes since post operatively we find that most patients wished they went bigger. Regardless of the size your breast cleavage should be about the same you will have some upper pole fullness but it should not "spread" your breasts apart. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your concerns. Play around with some sizers, bring in some wish pics to help narrow down your options. Best of luck!

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for breast augmentation and will have a great result regardless of which of the two implants you select. The difference is nominal.

Hello, based on my experience I would recommend between 400cc extra high profile with gel implants to 420cc, this way you will achieve fuller and lifted breasts. But remember that this opinion is based on what I see in the photos, to choose the appropriate implant you must have a consultation with a plastic surgeon to take all the meassurements and determine the correct size. Thank you ans have an amazin day!

Thanks for your inquiry, in general terms your implant width should be less than your breast width. Without your breast width it is hard to advise. From your pics, the breast on the left side of the picture appears larger and more ptotic and you may need two different size implants. In general terms, 25 cc of 350 cc is less than 8 % difference so they are not that far apart.

Your breasts are asymmetrical in volume, shape and position. Implants alone will not solve your problem. You need a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

I think you can get a great result with either size. However, when my patients get stuck picking between sizes, I recommend they go with the larger implant. I have heard more regrets over the years of not going a little larger and rarely hear patients feel they chose too big. Either way you are going to look great Good luck!

Very likely, considering your frame and weight, one cup size is around 150-170 ml. So if you want to be 2 cups sizes bigger than now, 300 ml range would be OK. Range of 50 ml in your case does not make such a difference. Good luck.

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Dear Kimdd13211,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Hi! 325cc is definitely a good choice. If you feel that might not be big enough you could go bigger, but 325cc seems big enough for your size. Just keep in mind that implant size will help fill out the space between your breasts, but it will not bring them together. They seem to be spread apart, but it is only your right breast that is lower and more to the side then your left breast. This is the real issue. Correcting this with a small Benelli Lift (a lift with a scar around the areola only) will help bring your right breast closer as well as lift it a bit.

Best if luck,
